THE MINNEAPOLIS EXPOSITION.

Already the directors Of the Mime
apolis exposition are making prepara-
items for the approaching season, and it
is gratifying to know they are meeting
with extraordinary success. Applica-
tions for space are numerous, and some
of the larger local firms are spending a
great amount of money on their exhibits.
The demand for space is really in ex-
cess of the supply at the disposal of the
manager, and consequently only the
most attractive exhibits can be admit
ted. This coming exposition is some
thing in which every one who desires
to see Minneapolis advance and the
greater development Of the illimitable
resources of the Northwest should take
an interest. The benefits derived from
last years exposition cannot be over
estimated, and from the present out
look the coming one will be still more
advantageous.

SOC, 900 population. That population is
heterogeneous and cosmopolitan be.
yond most, perhaps any, of the cities Of
the United States. There is in it a
large Irish element-that is to say,
either Irish immigrants or people of
Irish descent-but there is also a large
English and Scotch element, and a con-
siderable mixture of Germans, French,
Spaniards, and Scandinaviars, while,
of course, the native American element
preponderates and English is almost
universally spoken. But I have not
yet met with single resident of this
city who did not believe the Irish to be
engaged in a noble. patriotic struggle
for liberty and equal rights with the
English, and to be groaning under the
heel of a powerful and merciless op-
pressor. I have tried
on three occasions and through three
different papers to contradict some
specific and palpable misstatements.
hoping that if they were inserted 1
might in time be allowed to make some
more general statement of the other
side Of the question, but have utterly
failed, the editors of. two papers
having frenkly told me the other side
of the question was not wanted here.
= \ Now, sir. I see no
remedy for this state of things. The

the ground, and no other dog dare
BARK
OF course. the Times will not admit
that this sentiment arises from purely
legitimate source. Such candid ad-
mission is not characteristic of the
English Tory. When it can conceal the
fact no longer it explains it on the
ground that the Irish are so ''perni-
ciously active'' that they have terror
lied Americans into an appearance of
sympathy with them. The Times
should know better than to state that
any class of people can ''terrorize" an
American into doing anything against
his will. The feeling is simply one
that is inspired by love of liberty and
knowledge of the fact that Ireland
has been victimized and tyrannized
over for many a long year by British
Governments. To use the inelegant but
somewhat expressive quotation, ''they
know how it is themselves"

LORD DuFFER1N has shown vivi

LORD DUFFER1N has shown vivid
contrast to Lord Lansdowne in his
treatment of the Irish tenantry. Re.
Gently he wrote thanking his tenants
for the promptness with which they
met their last rent obligations, and di-
rectinq his agent to make further re-
duction in the event of the price OF pro.
duce lowering. But Lansdowne must
haye the last penny, and because his
tenants cannot pay he drives 500 OF
them from their homes. Such is the
contrast between Lord Duferin, the
idol Of Canada, and Lansdowne the ex-
ecrated.

AMERICANS AND HOME RULE.

at length the Tories have awak-
ened to the tact that Matthew Ar
mold was mistaken in his diagnosis
of American sentiment on the Irish
question when he ventured the
statement that the feeling in the
United States in favor of Home Rule
for Ireland was confined to the class
who bore Celtic names. Even the Lon
don Times, the avowed enemy of every
thing Irish, and everything American
for that matter, is forced to this con-
clusion. How the t'Thunderer" ar
rived at this realization OF the true
state Of affairs can be gathered from the
following extract from a letter written
by the San Francisco correspo spondent OF
that paper:

THE London Tablet is authority for
the statement that there have been a
large number of notable conversions to
the Church lately in Germany. Fraulein
Won Hillern, well known writer, has
been recently received by the Arch
bishop of Friburg; and Baron Won
Possberg, the nephew of distinguished
general, by the Bishop Of Fulda. More.
over, two Protestant pastors have alb

tered the seminary at Eichstadt. in
order to prepare for the priesthood.

WHAT LANsDowNB COSTS CANADA

WHAT LANSD0WNE COSTS CANADA.
At last the eyes of the Canadians
are opening to the fallacy of sup
porting such needless luxury as that
arch hypocrite and tyrant, Lord Lans-
downe. Investigation has disclosed
the fact that every cent of the Gov
ernor-G General's salary, amounting to
$50, 200. is expended wholly on his Irish
estates and is used as a means of de-
vising and carrying out new tyrannies
against his Irish tenants. The Mar
quis lives in great style at Rideau Hall,
Ottawa city. He keeps fourteen SER
wants and spends more on luxuries
than all the rest of the Canadian Cabi-
net Ministers put together. The hero
of Luggacurran pockets the salary in
stead of using it to pay his bills, while
he sends the latter to the Government
offices. Last year the country paid
$4,000 for his fuel account, besides the
the cost of repairs 10 his princely resi-
dence,s which of course he gets rent
free. The people even pay the wages of
his gardeners and of his fourteen SER
wants. His expenses paid for him by
the country, added to his salary, makes
total of 100000 to 100000. Such ex-
travagance on the part of a governor of
a poor country like Canada is simply
preposterous. The Dominion Govern
ment should take immediate steps to
check such extravaganza, by either re-
fusing in future to entertain accounts
for Lord Lrnsdowne's personal ex-
penses, or deducting the amount
thereof from his salary. If he cannot
get along on his salary without making
himself an unbearable burden to the
Canadian people, he should make way
for better and more popular man.
The Canadians are not likely to grieve
much at his departure.

THE New York Freeman's Journal
recently suggested the project Of a
jubilee library of American Catholic
books for presentation to Pope Leo
XIII. as a worthy consideration of the
various Catholic societies of the Union.
The suggestion is good one and
should be carried out. 1t would have
the effect of encouraging American
Catholic literature.

DESIGNATING FANEUIL HALL.

Why the British residents Of Bos.
ton should have chosen Faneuil Hall
as the place in which to hold
their banquet in honor OF the
Queens Jubilee is incomprehensible.
Possibly they desired to desecrate the
place dedicated to the sacred cause OF
liberty. As the Boston Republic re-
marked, the sons of England and Scot
land have perfect right to observe in
any decent way the jubilee OF Queen
Victoria. This is a free country, and
the widest latitude should be givei to
all classes of it's composite citizenship
to express their feelings and vent their
sympathies. so long as they do not con-
fict with the fundamental principles
of the American Government; but all
decent men have a right to protest in
the sacred name of liberty, and in the
interest of American self-respect,
against the use Of Faneuil Hall by any
aggregation of men for the purpose OF
clarifying monarch, or Of strength
ening, even by expressions of sym
pathetic allegiance, the governmental
principles on which monarchies stand.
By permitting this celebration to
take place in Faneuil Hall the sacred
memory of Paul Revere and Peter
Faneuil has been insulted. 1t lis to the
credit of the Irish American citizens OF
Boston that they stoutly protested
against this building being used for such
a purpose. They did not forget that
thousands of their race were foremost
in the great struggle for American
Liberty.

A CHICAGO man has recently been

ENGLISH WOMEN HOME RULERS.

ENGLISH WOMEN HOME RULERS.
1t is an ascertained fact that the
great majority of English women are
strong advocates of Home Rule for Ire
land, and the effort they are making in
order that this end will eventually be
secured is undoubtedly not matter of
unlmportance. At the present time,
when certain class of the people of
England might be said to be wild oyer
the celebration of the Queens jubilee, a
message of sympathy, in the form of an
address to the women of Ireland from
the women of England, is in course of
signature, in view of the terrible crisis
which must arise when the coercion
bill becomes law. An address Of a
similar nature, in the form Of a protest
to the leading Home Rule members has
been prepared by Mrs. Josephine But
ler, and is being numerously signed.
It concludes with the following SEN
tence:
..As women (and as yet unenfran-
chised) we desire to assure the leaders
of the cause of justice to Ireland, that,
in our past and present political con-
ficts on behalf of certain oppressed
classes-especially of women-we have
had an experience which greatly inten.
SITES and deepens our sympathy with
the people of Ireland; and further, to
attest that experience has proved to us
that in the power of God the weakest
become strong, and that for those who
strive for justice, the longest and dark
est conflict will as surely end in victory
aseday follows night.''
There is no doubt that both address
and protest will be numerously signed,
for the Women's Liberal Associations
have taken the matter up. The Bristol
Society sent a strong resolution to Mr..
Gladstone, expressing its dlsapproval
of the Irish policy of the government,
and it's conviction that, under present
circumstances, the passing of a Coer-
cion bill cannot bereconciled with just
ice or expedlency. The women Of Eng
land exert powerful influence on the
politics of the country, and no doubt
ireland will he greatly benefited by
their advocacy of the Home Rule
cause.
